[@jamesmcbride6304]

I dont think on the buses would have worked without him. talented guy. doesnt matter how many times you watch them you still laugh. Nice one Alan

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hi James I think it was a magical ingredient of character uncertainty Blakey would have made a big hole. He was the foil turn the naughty boys 😊

[@John-l9l2k]

Another classic comedy that takes me back to my youth, rip Blakey, remember watching it with my gran as a young lad back in the early seventies, always got us laughing 😊

[@theagunton3811]

He was brilliant x

[@Lynne572]

Another lovely tribute to a great actor, Alan. Watched a lot of On the Buses in recent years. Loved him in Last of the Summer Wine too.

[@peacefulrider]

I was born and worked in Greenwich where Stephen lived at the time. I’ve always been a big fan of On the buses. When I was at school I had a pt time job in a grocers in Greenwich and Stephen came in . I didn’t recognise him at first but my boss knew him and told me who he was. Stephen did Blakey for me and told me to get the bus out ! . I’ll never forget that. What a lovely man he was to his fans and very well spoken . RIP Stephen.

[@stepheng8779]

Loved On The Buses when I was a kid & Last Of The Summer Wine when I got older. Still miss it was a great place to see our living legends once more & I don't mean that as faint praise.

[@bamboo782]

Thank you Allan great actor Stephen was see funny loved On the buses and Last of the summer wine R.I.P.

[@theagunton3811]

He was brilliant. He used to live round the corner from me and always saw him on train. So funny. Cheer me up thanks x

[@stevenmoses5807]

Brilliant actor . On the buses a timeless classics . And not forgetting last of the summer wine which mr Lewis Also starred.

[@noblemav]

I to loved on the buses, from Australia, I watched most of the episodes and still have a DV set but haven’t watched for sometime now….Ironically I end up being a bus driver for the last 10 years….on the Central Coast NSW….Moved to Perth and still took up driving there too….God be with you Blakey…rest in peace..from Downunder.

Take it easy Paul

[@alanjones9101]

As a boy in the 70s, he and Reg Varney as Butler always made me laugh. As did the inscription on his headstone "Caught the last bus to the cemetery gates" 😁 Thanks for visiting his resting place Alan. And for posting it too of course. (Another one that's caused me to well up slightly) 😢

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hello Alan, He did have a lovely headstone with his character name and like you said the last bus to the cemetery because I watched the characters before the film. I actually feel sad when I'm leaving which I know is stupid but it's true. Thank you, mate Alan

[@KarlKeeley]

Thank you Alan for another fantastic tribute to a tremendous actor I thought his role as Blakey was really funny I loved all of on the buses I have all the dvds of the series and all 3 films and will certainly watch them all again and he was also a great character In last of the summer wine a fantastic actor will never be forgotten

[@graham5525]

Thank you Alan. Another lovely and informative tribute. Stephen Lewis was a wonderful actor and played one of the most iconic comical characters of our time ❤

Do you know what Joy? I actually started to watch this series again when I met the first one about Reg. Varney and I've got into watching them. They're simple, silly humour. Thank you for the lovely comment. Alan

[@louisestopford7114]

Another great one Alan. As always, thoroughly enjoyed it. On The Buses is timeless - what a brilliant comedy, with superb actors such as Stephen (the whole cast were marvellous). I always feel your sadness to when you leave and your hesitation. I think what you do and share with us views really makes us reflect on things because as you say life is short and somehow and somewhere it is important to find some happiness. Well done Alan and thank you again.

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

We get to know them don't we from the TV and it feels like their friends. And you know you'll never be going back so you do feel a little bit sad. But we did our bit for the memory you and me. Thank you Louise

[@Greenwillow]

I’ve been watching him in On the Buses on ITV 3 in the mornings as well. I have Sparrows can’t sing on dvd its brilliant. It does not surprise me they released it with sub titles in the US as they done that for the film The Commitments. He was also in the comedy Oh Doctor Beeching in the 90’s. Thank you❤

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

I'm going to try and get a version of the film somewhere. Thank you for telling me it's a good film. Green willow

I lived in Greenwich and he was always on the train. Anna David (Olive) lived near my mum and dad in Ilford. She was lovely. Went to bingo and Marks and Spencer with my nan. X shame her house burnt down.
